    Hey mubneosic,

    1) Pizza Man: The original, unused opening for this Elfman cue can be heard in the documentary during the “Direction” chapter, heard at 41:37 if you’re watching the feature. The unused section runs about 0:38 before seguing into Elfman’s music that was left in the film (which is from when Spider-Man appears until the end).

    2) Blue Light: This is used a few times in the documentary. It is used directed after “Pizza Man” during the directions chapter and also appears in the Sound & Music chapter. What is nice is that Charles De Lauzrika cut a lot of the music to the scenes in the film, which is why we hear Blue Light during the filming of the Doc Ock demonstration sequence (in the direction chapter).

    3) Mayhem: A section of this can be heard on one of the menus on Disc 2 (the exact one escapes me, it has Doc Ock on it by himself). I’ve deduced this from process of elimination. You can actually synch this music to the movie and it fits pretty well (start it around the time Harry yells “Turn it off, Otto!”).

    4) Spider-Fall: Tricky one. The opening appears during the start of the “Women of Spider-Man” featurette. The rest of it can be heard both at the start of the Spyder-Cam chapter in the documentary and during Sound and Music when the attention first shifts to Danny’s score.

    5) Happy Montage: This entire cue plays over the End Credits of the documentary. Sections of it are also used in the Women of Spider-Man featurette for Ursula’s section.

    Hope this helps! If you need any more info, let me know. I’ve researched all this extensively and am actually in the process of writing a complete, score breakdown and analysis of the music, so don’t hesitate! :-)

    Here goes…

    1) The cue Danny is referring to could be one of four cues, all composed for the Doc Ock Demonstration Sequence. These are: “The Reveal,” “Blue Light,” “Fusion,” and “Mayhem,” as they were revealed in the complete cue list on the DVD. All of these cues were cut out and re-scored by Christopher Young, with no attempt made to intercut with Elfman’s original material. Some of this music cannot be heard in any form, but some of it IS on the DVD documentaries and menus.

    2) Yes, and it was entitled, “Uncle Ben.” The last thirty seconds were cut out and tracked with a section of “Final Confrontation.” The original final 30 seconds is also on the DVD and sounds remarkably similar. My guess is that the scene was one of the “late edit” victims, and the filmmakers decided to track something in that sounded close enough to Elfman’s original music, but fit the scene.

    3) Bartek never composed additional material for the film. He and Danny (to my knowledge) still remain fine.

    4) Nope, and I’m curious as to what he has to say as well.

    5) Christopher Young did indeed score the train sequence. Another tid-bit: Young’s train music was tracked into two other areas of the film as well: During the Bank fight and during the Pier sequence. Again, probably “late edit” victims.

    Hope this helps!

    Agreed with you both on Raimi. I trust him with the Spidey-films, but his treatment with Danny really soured my thoughts on him as a collaborator.

    I really wish they would use ONE main villain, as I feel including any more is a potentially bad idea, but I’ve seen it work successfully with BATMAN BEGINS.
